Neoromicia isabella ( Decher, Hutterer and Monadjem, 2015) This recently described species ( Decher et al ., 2015 ) has only been recorded from a small settlement adjacent to the Liberian town of Yekepa at the base of Mt Nimba. This species was referred to as Neoromicia cf. rendalli by Monadjem et al ., (2013 a ) who recognised it as a distinct species (with features similar to those of N. rendalli ) but did not have sufficient material with which to publish a new species description. In a separate study, two further specimens were collected in the Simandou Range in north-eastern Guinea , which genetically and morphologically refer to the same species as the Mt Nimba specimen ( Decher et al ., 2015 ).
